Special Needs Ministry

At Wesley, we want to connect ALL people to their purpose - including those with special needs or those who have a family member with special needs. In 2023, our Lenten offering raised $21,842 in support of this ministry. We are still in the process of learning what our community needs are & implementing support to meet those needs. We have a special needs committee that meets throughout the year to brainstorm ideas and share resources.
